Then There's the Rain

A world away I arrived at this side of tragedy
The hopes and glimmers of boyhood
tarnished by being a man
Adventures wrought iron shackles to choices past
And here I am with this burden of memories
They won't let me rest and I wrestle in the darkness
With the skeletons in the closet
With the shadows of miserable realizations
It's 4 in the morning and my heart still aches
But the dawn doesn't erase the pain or fill this void
Void of you, void of living, void of pushing on
So I cloak myself in the day to day
Hoping for just a glimpse of you
But I'm forced to settle
for a reflection of me in the mirror, tears flowing.
I stroll through the streets ever searching
And though there are millions of people I'm still alone.
And that thought makes me ever more lonesome.
If I can't find love in a million people, I can't find love anywhere.
Pressures from every side,
no place to hide
Making me crazy -- crazy insane.
Then there's the rain.......
